Remembering Tuku and his talking guitar

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Oliver Mtukudzi was one of Africa's musical greats. His 67 albums were the soundtrack to life in Zimbabwe for over four decades. His death in January at the age of 67 was mourned all over the world. Kim Chakanetsa has been back to Zimbabwe to find out more about the man and his music - for a documentary on the Âé¶¹Éç World Service starting on 20 July. Two of the people she spoke to are Tuku's daughters and musical heirs - Sandra and Selmor - they began by telling Kim what he was like as a father. (Photo: Oliver Mtukudzi in concert in 2002.
